Girl Next Door Wanting More

When I first heard Elena Lubenets’ story, I thought “how ironic…an insurance agent who completed one of the riskiest activities possible.” (You’ll just have to listen to find out what this risk taker did!) But what I LOVE is how facing a very physical risk led her to face the fear of leaving her corporate career. In this episode, Elena and I chat about facing fear to follow more purposeful work, b...

In my professional development group for women, Learn. Connect. Support., I cannot tell you how many times our conversations turn to hormones! (As I always say, you can’t separate PERSONAL development from PROFESSIONAL development; we’re going to cover it all!) We’re SO lucky to have a doctor in our circle. :) Sooo…I invited Dr. Bethany to join me on the podcast to discuss how her practice model i...

THIS episode is for everyone! My guest, Merry Korn, shares so much information about overcoming fear…stories from her life, book recommendations, and even a list of things to do to move forward when you are afraid. I heard Merry’s story when she presented at a meeting I attended, and I STILL got chills talking to her for this podcast. I took down so many notes and takeaways. For example, I jotted...

Get ready for a treat as I chat with my friend and fellow entrepreneur, Lisa Federico! This is one of those episodes that could have gone on for a couple hours and taken so many turns! In fact, I’m struggling to even come up with one concise episode title that adequately describes our conversation. We chat about going from corporate to entrepreneurship, the process of finding who you really are ag...

In the last episode, I talked about limiting beliefs and how we can reprogram our thoughts. (So if you missed the last episode, listen to this one and then go back and get caught up.) In THIS episode, I’m talking about CATCHING those thoughts that you want to reprogram, and I’m sharing a fact-based exercise to help you determine if the thought you have is true or false. I talk about gaslighting in...

In this episode, I’m talking about limiting beliefs. What are limiting beliefs? How do they keep you stuck? How can you change these beliefs and reach your full potential? Coaching and presenting on matters of mindset is my sweet spot, so I’m thrilled to be sharing this episode with YOU. I’ll give you a little explanation of why our brains create limiting beliefs in the first place. I’ll share a c...

I can’t get enough of this topic…People Pleasing! It comes up all the time. Sometimes in a joking, almost self-depricating manner like, “What’s wrong with me? I say yes to everything,” and sometimes as a more serious, “I need help, I’m overwhelmed, I’m not in control of my own time.” Obviously, I wouldn’t be so invested in this topic if I wasn’t also seeking answers for myself. So, I enlisted the...

The topic that comes up most often in conversations with other ‘girls next door’ is about the degree of people pleasing we do. There is definitely a spectrum in my friend group, ranging from those who hold firm boundaries to those who bend over backwards to please others. In a recent encounter with my three cats, I got to witness three very different levels of people pleasing. The cats’ responses...

In this episode, I am using the analogy of a really ugly run I completed recently to explain universal lessons about goal achievement. In addition to resistance and surrender, I’m talking about motivation, discipline, and of course, mindset! Listen to the story; stay for the takeaways. ;) Connect with Amy on social: Personal FB: @AmyEllettBauman LinkedIn: @AmyEllettBauman Develop your personal and...

Do you need to build your network even if you don’t work outside the home? If you aren’t currently looking for a job? And what does that even mean, “network?” This is one of my FAVORITE topics to talk about! If you don’t relate to the term “network,” then replace it with terms like “team” or “circle.” What I’m talking about in this episode of Girl Next Door Wanting More is NOT your corporate schmo...

I’m so excited to bring you this conversation with my friend, Cheryl Bougie! I wanted to bring her on the podcast to share that “wanting more” does not always mean business, career, money, or the typical images of success.
